Although Diana's surprised expression only flashed across her fair face, it was still completely captured by Lei Xiao's sight.
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said, "It seems that the Vice President is no stranger to this name."
Diana, who had returned to normal, did not answer Lei Xiao's words, but changed the subject and said: "His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, what exactly are you going to say?"
"To be honest with you, Vice-President, I have always had some conflicts with the Black Abyss Brotherhood, until they finally developed into a fight to the death."
Lei Xiao's eyes still stayed on the other party's delicate cheeks, and continued: "And at this critical moment, the Temple of Light stepped forward to intervene. Don't you think it's a little strange, Vice President?"
"Your Highness, what's so strange about this."
Without waiting for Diana to respond, Durant crossed his arms and spoke first: "I have heard about the actions of the Black Abyss Brotherhood several times. Each of them can be said to be evil and unscrupulous, so we must eradicate it."
Isn’t it normal for the Temple of Light, which is responsible for evil, to take action to judge the source of such evil?”
"Your Excellency, the branch president, doesn't seem to understand what I mean."
Lei Xiao's smile gradually faded and he said seriously: "What I mean is that the Temple of Light is on the side of the Black Abyss Brotherhood."
"What? How is this possible?!"
Hearing this, not only Durant, but also several other mercenary representatives looked incredibly shocked and began to look at each other.
Just like what Durant said, a few of them had indeed heard about the mysterious Black Abyss Brotherhood wearing a white mask, and knew that the other party was a dark force with extremely cruel methods, but that was all.
Haven't understood it in depth.
After all, although the Black Abyss Brotherhood has done various evil things, they have never had a direct conflict with the Mercenary Guild, and even deliberately avoided it.
Therefore, without a clear order from the top of the mercenary guild, they would naturally not take the initiative to provoke him.
Directly opposite Durant and others, Lei Xiao could see at a glance that these guys looked confused and did not have much communication value, so he moved his eyes to Diana again.
Only the latter's starry eyes were twinkling secretly, apparently as if he knew something.
After a moment, Diana frowned tightly and said: "Your Highness, do you mean there is any potential connection between the Temple of Light and the Black Abyss Brotherhood? Or even allies who stand together?"
"Or maybe the two are from the same family, but one is doing it openly and the other is doing it secretly."
Lei Xiao shrugged and said shockingly.
As expected, when Lei Xiao said these words, it instantly caused an uproar among the mercenary representatives.
Although these scheming mercenary management did not appear too obvious, their wide-open eyes were full of shock that could not be concealed.
You must know that the Temple of Light has always been on the front line against evil, guarding the peace of the human world, and has many believers in various countries. If it has truly fallen, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Among the shocked mercenaries, only Diana in the center looked relatively stable, but there was also a gleam of surprise in her starry eyes.
After a long while, Diana regained her composure and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, you must speak responsibly. You are accusing a huge organization that is like the patron saint of the human world. Have you thought about the consequences of doing so?
Is that so? You are blaspheming the thousands of years of dedication of countless Light Temple powerhouses!"
"If Your Highness thinks that just by relying on these baseless lies, our Mercenary Guild can distance itself from the Temple of Light, then you are totally wrong."
Diana's voice became deeper and deeper, and then said: "Your Highness's actions will only make our Mercenary Guild stand more firmly on the side of the Temple of Light."
After Diana finished speaking, a vague sense of oppression began to spread in the royal conference hall, making the temperature seem to drop a lot.
"Of course I know, provided that I was really talking nonsense just now."
Facing the majesty of the other party, Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile and continued: "But if what I said is true, will the Mercenary Guild still associate with the Temple of Light?"
"For thousands of years, our mercenary guild has always been responsible for protecting the human world. No matter who the opponent is, as long as it threatens the peace of the human world, we will naturally never tolerate it."
Diana's words were resounding, and she immediately raised her eyebrows and said: "Your Highness, since you are so sure of your opinion, please provide evidence."
At this point, Diana's eyebrows tightened even more, and she added: "If His Highness the Prince cannot prove all this, then don't blame the slave family for turning their backs on each other."
"Your Excellency, the Vice-President, is right. If His Highness the Prince is just talking nonsense, then we will have nothing to talk about."
Durant also looked solemn and echoed.
Feeling that the atmosphere had almost dropped to freezing point, our personnel held their breaths and cast their eyes on Lei Xiao.
Our subordinates all clearly understand that although we have been able to fully confirm that the mastermind behind the Black Abyss Brotherhood is the Temple of Light, there is no substantial evidence.
Because no matter whether it was Severn who had admitted it personally or other powerful men of the Brotherhood who had encountered it, they had all died. It can be said that there was no evidence of death.
In addition, the Black Abyss Brotherhood is impeccable in its actions, and it is impossible to connect it with the Temple of Light from other places.
In other words, the predicament we are in now is like a mute eating Coptis chinensis. We know who the mastermind behind the scenes is, but we can't prove it. We can only suffer from the pain that we can't tell.
Lei Xiao, who was the center of everyone's focus, naturally knew this very well.
Lei Xiao clearly understands that in the absence of direct evidence, if we continue to forcibly link the two, it will only deepen the mercenary guild's distrust of us, and the result is self-evident.
So what you need to do is to guide the other party to connect the two together, there is no other way.
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao changed the subject and said: "Everyone, before I prove all this, please briefly introduce the situation we encountered with the Black Abyss Brotherhood, as well as the information we have.
A series of evil deeds by the Black Abyss Brotherhood."
"Well, I would like to listen carefully to what His Highness the Prince wants to express."
Diana held her chin with one hand and raised her long white legs, looking like she was listening.
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, starting from the first encounter between the Immortal Gate and Mu Tong, and ending with the fight with the No. 3 black-robed man under Wangxing City.
During this process, Lei Xiao ignored our sensitive information and instead focused on introducing the powerful configuration of the Black Abyss Brotherhood, as well as the "Holy Plan" and "Rebels".
"Search for the lost things of the blank era at all costs, violently invade the Cold Flame Kingship, possess a huge number of fifth-level powerhouses, and through some means reappear in this era the villains of the past who should have died long ago..."
Diana frowned slightly, carefully savoring the meaning of Lei Xiao's words, and nodded thoughtfully.
As a senior member of the mercenary guild, she clearly understood that although the information spoken by the prince from another world in front of her was slightly different from the information she had, the general content was consistent. This undoubtedly proved that
The other party did not lie.
After sorting everything out in her mind, Diana pondered for a moment, and then asked Lei Xiao: "Your Highness, I already understand what you said, but what exactly do you want to express?"
"Yes, Your Highness, although the Black Abyss Brotherhood has done many evil things, what does this have to do with the Temple of Light?"
Durant also looked suspicious and echoed.
"Your Excellency, branch president, please be patient."
Lei Xiao first nodded slightly to Durant, then turned to Diana again and said: "Your Excellency, Vice President, according to my understanding, the Black Abyss Brotherhood is not an ancient organization, but only started in recent years.
There should be no doubt about this, right?"
"Yes, this is completely consistent with the findings of our mercenary guild."
Diana nodded slightly and continued to listen to Lei Xiao's words with her eyebrows raised.
"If that's the case, I wonder if you have noticed a problem."
Lei Xiao picked up the newly filled tea cup again, shook it gently, and said: "How can an organization that has just emerged have the power to encroach on the king's power in a short period of time, and even the number and foundation of the country-level powerhouses?
Much higher than a royal family?”
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, Durant pondered for a moment, and then said first: "Your Highness, do you mean that there must be a bigger backer behind the Black Abyss Brotherhood?"
"Exactly. Please allow me to ask the branch president another question."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then continued: "These country-level powerful men called "rebels" even came from thousands of years ago, and those ancient relics that were lost in the blank era are not just random.
You can learn the secret."
Speaking of this, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, the branch president, thinks that if there is a backer behind the Black Abyss Brotherhood, who can cover the sky with one hand to this extent?"
"This is not simple. Except for the three major neutral organizations including our mercenary guild, no other force can achieve this level..."
As soon as Durant said this, he suddenly looked like he had a sudden realization and stopped talking.
At this point, what Lei Xiao wanted to express was very clear.
Only one of the three neutral organizations is the mastermind behind the Black Abyss Brotherhood.
After hearing the conversation between Lei Xiao and Durant, Diana gently rubbed her white chin and slowly said: "Your Highness, in the final analysis, all of this is just speculation, and we cannot be completely sure about the behind-the-scenes of the Black Abyss Brotherhood.
The leader is one of the three neutral organizations."
However, although she still didn't let go, Diana clearly understood in her heart.
The conclusion given by Lei Xiao was also the thing that the senior leaders of the mercenary guild had vaguely guessed and were most worried about.
"What if we add this one?"
With an expected expression, Lei Xiao once again described the incident of the old king being quietly harmed by Sweet King Flower.
In the process of describing it, Lei Xiao skipped the part that Severn later admitted to himself.
Because just like what Lei Xiao had just thought, there were no outsiders present at the time, and Severn was already dead. If we said more words, it would make the other party think that we were talking nonsense.
"At that time, only representatives of the three major neutral organizations and His Majesty the King of Steel were present in the restaurant. There is no need to say anything else."
Lei Xiao finished describing everything and concluded: "Although I don't want to connect the three neutral organizations with all of this, the evidence is unquestionable."
"this……"
Durant and other mercenary representatives looked at each other and blurted out: "Your Highness, what do you want to say?"
"Don't forget that only when something unexpected happens to His Majesty the King of Steel, the Cold Flame Kingdom will fall into a whirlpool of internal fighting for power, and then the second prince controlled by the Black Abyss Brotherhood will be able to take the opportunity to ascend to power."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "It's a pity that they had calculated so much but failed to predict that His Majesty Ariel and I would suddenly attack, completely disrupting their wishful thinking. At the same time, this also made it possible for today's
The crisis in the Cold Flame Kingdom has sown the seeds of disaster."
"His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, are you saying that it is precisely because you have foiled the Black Abyss Brotherhood's plan that the Temple of Light will become your enemy?"
Diana thought for a moment and then asked: "Even if you don't hesitate to avenge private revenge, and mobilize the power of the entire human world to destroy you?"
"There are also a series of small frictions before."
Lei Xiao briefly went through the part of seizing the opponent's Eternal Night Magic Box and Immortal Furnace, nodded and said: "Your Excellency, Vice President, you should now understand what I want to express, right?"
"Thank you, His Royal Highness, for your candor."
Diana nodded slightly and fell into deep thought again.
Although she was unwilling to admit it easily, Lei Xiao's words did confirm the suspicions of her and other mercenary guild executives to a great extent.
This was also the main reason why she chose to meet with Lei Xiao in person, in order to find out the truth of the matter.
Through contact with Lei Xiao, Diana was able to fully confirm.
This young alien did not lie, he was frank and clear, because many things were consistent with the information she knew.
This made Diana have a vague feeling that although Lei Xiao was an outsider who had recently arrived, she did not think that Lei Xiao would do anything to threaten the human world. On the contrary, the Temple of Light became more and more suspicious.
But even though Lei Xiao made it clear about his grudges with the Black Abyss Brotherhood and the reason why the Temple of Light took action against the Kingdom of Cold Flame, the most fundamental problem was still unresolved.
That is, there is no intuitive fact that can prove that there is an inevitable connection between the Black Abyss Brotherhood and the Temple of Light.
"Your Excellency the Vice President's prudence is admirable."
Lei Xiao immediately saw the other party's doubts, and added: "I have a little reminder, which may help the Vice President identify more clearly who is the real mastermind behind this."
